A new release of the high performance MPI-FM on Myrinet is now
available. MPI-FM is a full implementation of the MPI
standard. Performance highlights include:

        0-byte Latency: 20us
        Peak Bandwidth: 17MB/s (platform dependent)

This release uses the Fast Messages 2.0 (FM 2.0) layer to achieve high
performance for communication in workstation clusters.  Both the
software and more information are available from:

        http://www-csag.cs.uiuc.edu/projects/comm/fm.html

Details: MPI-FM is a port of MPICH (Argonne-MSU) atop Illinois Fast
Messages 2.0 (FM 2.0), a new version of the high performance messaging
layer for workstation clusters. MPI-FM 2.0 offers improved latency
and support for the new generation of 32 bit Myrinet boards.

If you already have a Myrinet network up and running, everything you
need in order to use MPI-FM (including a full MPICH release) is
included in the release. MPI-FM has been tested on the following
platforms:

   CPU        Op Sys          Myrinet
   -----      ----------      ---------
   SPARC      Solaris         LANai 4.x
              SunOS           LANai 2.3

Coming soon:

   CPU        Op Sys
   -----      ----------
   x86        Windows NT
              Linux
